find-examples

find-examples is a skill for Claude Code from gleanwork/claude-plugins. It costs 41 tokens per session (929 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding real examples of an API, library, or coding pattern in an organisation's repositories and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for searching implementations, configuration, tests, guides, and best practices before adding new code.
Why use it?
It helps developers avoid guessing how an internal tool is meant to be used and filters examples for quality, context, and freshness.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

find-examples scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find Examples

Search across all repositories to find usage examples of an API, library, or pattern.

Determine the API, library, or pattern from the user's request. If not specified, ask before proceeding.

Core Principles

  • Prioritize recency: Recent examples are more likely to follow current best practices
  • Show context: Code snippets without context aren't helpful
  • Be skeptical: Not every match is a good example
  • Quality over quantity: 3 excellent examples beats 10 mediocre ones

Process

Phase 1: Search for Usage

Search for the API/pattern across the organization:

code_search "[topic] import OR require"
code_search "[topic] usage example"
code_search "[topic] implementation"

Phase 2: Find Different Approaches

Look for variations in how it's used:

code_search "[topic] config OR configuration"
code_search "[topic] test OR spec"

Phase 3: Find Documentation

Search for any guides or documentation:

search "[topic] how to use OR getting started"
search "[topic] best practices OR guidelines"

Phase 4: Vet Each Example

For each code example found, evaluate:

Test ✅ Include ⚠️ Caution ❌ Reject
Quality Clean, well-structured, tested, recent Works but has issues — note them Hacky, deprecated, anti-pattern, prototype
Recency <6 months 6-12 months — may be outdated 12+ months with no activity
Context Production code, tests, well-maintained Experiments — verify before using Abandoned PRs, copy-pasted boilerplate
Relevance Similar context to what user needs Different context but instructive Same API, unrelated purpose

Anti-Pattern Signals — reject or warn:

  • Large try/catch blocks swallowing errors
  • Commented-out code
  • TODO comments indicating known issues
  • Files in /deprecated/, /old/, /legacy/ paths
  • Skipped tests, no tests at all
  • No recent commits in repo

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
